Recommended configuration

     * The hardware requirements of LXDE are similiar to Windows 98 
(Maybe a little bit higher). An old Pentium II CPU is enough.
     * After X11 and LXDE are started, the total memory usage is about 
45 MB on i386 machines. (This value may be higher or lower according to 
different system configurations.)
     * Though LXDE itself doesn't require better hardware, other 
applications under X do need it. For example, Firefox and OpenOffice.org 
2 are quite memory-hungry. So it's recommended that you have a RAM of 
more than 128 MB.


Components

PCManFM
     The ultimate fast and robust file manager. It provides tabbed file 
browsing and desktop icons with low system resource usage.
LXPanel
     Feature-rich yet user-friendly desktop panel providing most crucial 
functions you expect from a desktop panel. Configuration is done through 
a graphic user interface.
LXSession
     Standard-compliant X11 session manager with shutdown/reboot/suspend 
supports via HAL and gdm (LXSession Lite is a stripped-down lightweight 
version without X11 session management support, and it's more stable).
LXAppearance
     LXAppearance is a new feature-rich GTK+ theme switcher able to 
change GTK+ themes, icon themes, and fonts used by applications.
LXLauncher
     LXLauncher enables the desktop to have topic oriented desktops.
Openbox
     Lightweight, standard-compliant, and highly-configurable window 
manager (adapted by LXDE. We suggest using this as default window 
manager.). This can be replaced by any other window manager like icewm, 
fluxbox, metacity, ...etc.
GPicView
     A very simple, fast, and lightweight image viewer featuring 
immediate startup.
Leafpad
     Lightweight and simple text editor adapted by LXDE. (We suggest 
using this as default text editor.).
LXDE Common
     LXDE Common is the default settings configuration file for 
integrating the different components of LXDE. LXDE Common manages the 
system behavior and functions to integrate icons and artwork.
LXTerminal
     Desktop-independent VTE-based terminal emulator for LXDE without 
any unnecessary dependency (All instances share the same process to 
reduce memory usage).
XArchiver
     Lightweight, fast, and desktop-independent gtk+-based file archiver 
(adapted by LXDE. We suggest using this as as default archiver).
LXRandR
     Monitor configuring tool. You can plug in another screen into LXDE 
or choose to use a big screen projector. Local screen and extenal screen 
can be used at the same time. LXRandR configures the screen solution 
automatically.
LXNM
     Lightweight network connection manager. LXNM is a helper daemon for 
LXDE supporting wireless connections (Linux-only).
GtkNetCat
     Graphic User Interface for netcat. Netcat provides system functions 
as a computer networking utility for reading from and writing to network 
connections on either TCP or UDP.

LXDE offering the flexibility to use LXDE parts with different Unix like 
systems.

Standard compliant

     It follows standards as specified by freedesktop.org.
